And if Y started at zero the graph would accurately show 10%, which is huge on that timeline.
And people wouldn’t be used to it and would react appropriately.
Although in this case I’d argue even then a month is deceptively short term when they’ve lost 50% this quarter
I also should have mentioned that any Y axis that doesn’t start at zero is misleading and makes changes look more drastic.
I’m usually on top of that one.
A law requiring y axis start at zero would unironically do a lot to temper our economy. Just because graphs like OP’s would look less scary.
The same thing it always does…
Bounces around wildly because it’s based on hype not actual value of the company
Basically all other than
Why do people do this?
The opposite of what someone asks isn’t the same answer.
If you could actually give an example, someone might tell you a game about that
If I lived within driving distance of DC or a Tesla factory I would be…
Thought that was clear:
lots of Americans would love to switch locations with you so they could have the opportunity you’re wasting.
Protesting a dealership when no one wants to buy one is performative.
Where protests should be happening is factories because even if Musk has to shut down one day, that is expensive, and it’s expensive to start it back up again.
So what’s really effective is protesting factories and not letting workers in.
For a day or two.
Then leaving till it’s started back up for a couple days, and just repeating that. Make them open and close production constantly. Make Tesla workers tires of the bullshit, better yet make Musk fire them so they get severance and unemployment.
So:
Look at the risk/reward of what you want to do/say at a dealership. Nothing you put on a sign is going to change anyone’s minds.
To quote a saying that’s been around for way to long:
You can beat the charges, but you can’t beat the ride
Meaning it doesn’t matter if what you’re doing is illegal, cops can still beat you, take you to jail, and just drop charges 10 minutes before you get to see a judge.
Edit:
moderately upscale suburb of DC with a particularly liberal (not leftist, liberal) population base. The protest has been happening every Saturday for several weeks now, and usually pulls around 200-300 people
Why the fuck is 200-300 people next to DC not fucking protesting politicians?
I assumed you were in some random city, you all are literally right next to DC and instead of taking advantage of that you’re wasting your time with this?
Go fucking protest the actual government in DC, lots of Americans would love to switch locations with you so they could have the opportunity you’re wasting.
Especially since DC is probably the last place that needs people to be discouraged from buying a Tesla right now.
Diminishing returns.
4k on a 75in and 8k on a 75in isn’t a big difference.
Not to mention most streaming content is 1080 for bandwidth and tvs upscale to 4k. So while there is difference, it’s hard to quantify upscaling, and even if you find a store with displays, they’re being fed native 4k.
If you go to rtings.com or a similar site you can compare specifics and see that there is advancement happening.
It’s just not like back in the day when they could keep doubling resolution.
I know that there was slavery and segregation in America based on exactly this in the past but this is over
It is not…
There’s still a lot of racial bias in housing, even by name before the landlord/realtor meets the potential client.
its just not done with the explicit approval of the government, however that is unfortunately likely to change soon.
Even after the civil rights movement, all the Republicans and a lot of the Dems opposed integration. And we’re still paying for it.
Who are so far left they made a lap back to authoritarianism
No, they’re just right wingers lying about what they are.
They didn’t “wrap around” because they went too far left. They’ve always supported right wing authoritian governments.
they label themselves as leftist / communist / socialist
So does China and North Korea bud…
Hell, NK says they’re a democracy too.
People lie, that doesn’t mean you believe them.
And that just raises more questions about why you made a new account for this post
They don’t…
Unless you’re counting neoliberals as “leftists” and if we’re doing that we might as well call trump an LGBTQ person of color because apparently labels don’t mean anything and we can just randomly fucking apply them to anyone.
Quick edit:
Also, man…
There are a lot of brand spanking new accounts making posts like this
I had a roommate in college that had a fucking Ronald Reagan action figure/doll thing…
He was in his 30s when Bernie first ran, and it got him to do a full 180 and get onboard with progressive policy across the board.
I’m from a red state and it really isn’t uncommon for people to have made that switch in 2016.
They can be talked into supporting all types of progressive policy at all stages of life, but that’s not as easy as getting them to vote for a conservative Dem like Biden or Kamala. And it makes voter outreach on a personal level almost impossible. I hated Clinton, Biden, and Kamala. I still held my nose and voted for them, but they just have too many flaws that I can’t defend when talking about politics.
And “they’re not a Republican” isn’t a bonus to someone already ok with voting Republican.
We know what happens when a progressive runs because of 08 Obama, they flip red states all over and carry majorities in the House and Senate
Yeah, one of the rare episodes with a lot of Bullock in it.
I dunno if it’s because they can only afford so much of Sir Patrick Stewart’s time, or if he just doesn’t want to do a lot
But I’m still amazed every season he’s still doing the voice.
Are you asking why the USSR didn’t send a missile to blow up the US moon lander on the moon? What purpose would that serve?
Fun fact:
In 1969 the US had a plan to nuke the moon, just to show Russia we can.
An Aussie rapper made a song about it.
Fucking everyone would…
Even if some of them are wrong about who they think is a hypocrite, the majority of people think >50% of everyone else is a hypocrite
seem to ask questions so obvious that I am curious if it’s designed to test AI responses and use upvotes to score the results.
Everyone views their own intelligence as “average” even if they consciousnessly know it’s significantly higher/lower than average, we’re our own frame of reference.
So for some people AI seems just as smart as an average person, those people are really hyped for AI.
Other people think AI is shite, but are starting to doubt if something is AI or just an idiot.
I know there’re a lot of dipshits out there but are there so many that those posts routinely reach the front page multiple times a day?
It’s how bell curves work.
As more and more people leave reddit because it’s shit, the people making it shit don’t notice and become a greater percentage of users. So it gets shittier and a new group realizes and leaves.
It’s how social media circles the drain, Facebook and Twitter are examples of where it’s headed.
When it adjusts to the new lowest common denominator, that makes people leave, and lowers the denominator.
And people ask why Big Bang Theory had a laugh track…
If you put milk in your cereal,
I’m a real adult so I pour black coffee over a mug full of cereal…
Lucky charms specifically…
And technically the bulk bag of just the marshmallow balloons…
And a little pumpkin spice when it’s fall.
But other than those, straight black coffee.
It’s actually happened multiple times…
I remember two off the top of my head, but it’s possible there was a couple more
